I've spoken of the fact that my wife and I are both going to Physical Therapy. She is still recovering from her broken ankle and the months of non-weight bearing time. I simply have a pain in my hip that seems to wander around from right side to left; hip to upper leg to knee; lower back. It's all about aging so what can you do? Yeah, not a darned thing!
I do like to take photographs. And you don't have to be very physically active to manage that! Our town is in a basin with mountains on all sides of it. It makes for some nice sunrise & sunset photos but the land in the basin is super flat.
One of the things I dislike most about the local people is that they don't seem to regard water as a limited resource. In our part of the town houses are on 1 acre lots. That's a bit over 4,000 square meters. It is not unusual for someone to have 40 or 50 trees growing on their lot. That takes a LOT of water. There is a lot next to us that had an excavation for building a home when we moved here 15 years ago. It also has something like 40 trees growing all around the perimeter of the lot. You can see some of the trees in that sunset photo. There is still no house there. There is electricity and a well and lots of piping to water all those trees: that's it. What a waste!
This is an aerial view of a local casino that has an RV park associated with it. The name is Lakeside Casino. The photo is certainly from Google!
Yes, that is a small private lake in the middle of the RV park. The sites all have trees. The part in the bottom left is what things look like if people aren't dumping water on the land. And those houses in the bottom right of the photo; you can't count all the trees! Where do these people think they live? The Pacific Northwest?
Bah humbug! Sorry about the rant. Thanks for stopping by. Keep washing those hands!
